Hasbro confirmed a tonne of new 6" Marvel Legends figures at SDCC, and released the promotional images shortly after. Let's try and make sense of what is coming.

First up is a Deadpool wave of figures, no doubt designed to make the most of the hype from Deadpool 2 from Fox in 2018. The figure will include the Merc with the Mouth, along with Domino, Deathlock, Cable and X-23

We then get some new Spider-Man figures. There will be a Spider-Punk, Gwenpool, Lasher and Mysterio. The build a figure for the wave is confirmed as The Lizard. We expect more figures to be added to the wave line up?

There was a brief mention of an Avengers wave in 2018. This would make sense as being based on Infinity War and will probably be MCU heavy. A large Thanos figure was teased during the presentation. This would fit well as a Build-a-Figure for the Avengers wave?

Songbird, who was a fans choice figure, was shown and will fit into this 2018 Avengers wave.

Another wave that has begun to unfold is a Black Panther wave. Already included are Blackbolt and Namor. More figures to be confirmed soon. Again we would assume this is to coincide with the 2018 movie and will be filled out by movie figures.

The final wave mentioned is a further X-Men wave. No figures were shown other than a tease at the Build-a-Figure which will be an 8" tall Apocalypse.


There is a new range of vehicle & figure packs coming. They start with Black Widow and Motorcycle and of course Ghost Rider and his Ghost Bike.

Walgreens (US) will continue with their single release exclusives, and the next one will be Medusa from Inhumans. They will also get Mr Fantastic, allowing collectors to line him up with The Human Torch and Invisible Woman. During the presentation a Thing figure was teased to round out the team.

Toys R Us will be selling a Hydra Agent two pack. The pack contains a bunch of weaponry and some interchangeable heads allowing collectors to army build their Hydra army. It is unknown if this will be restricted to Toys R Us in the US, or if it will be a Worldwide release.

The next exclusive is Amazon, and this will be a four pack of the comic book Defenders - Jessica Jones (Jewel), Iron Fist, Daredevil and Luke Cage.

The 12" line will be getting Wolverine and it was also confirmed that Deadpool will be back in the 12" range with two releases - one in his X-Force costume, the other a Weapon X costume.
